After 8 years of studying general English,
A client of mine who works in nuclear medicine stated that he could not understand his colleagues to hold important meetings with them in English.
What could be done to break the listening barrier?
*We worked on studying the intonation and rhythm of English to understand it better.
*We set up 3-5 specific practices he could do every week.
*We did role-plays in his field of work with questions so he could practice his listening comprehension.
*We found some industry-specific material he could use to practice for an important upcoming seminar and meeting with stakeholders.
In just a few weeks, he felt confident to hold meetings in English, and at the end of almost 3 months, he had a successful meeting with an English-speaking client. He feels the vocabulary he learned to use in this meeting helped!
Also, he understood me and other people more! Despite that he doesn’t get much practice outside of work because he lives in Brazil, he says that the listening methods taught him HOW to study.
My best wishes to Heber and his future goals as he continues to improve and work with me on presentations and speaking.
If you are in the field of healthcare or biotech and are struggling with conducting English meetings, feel free to ask me about my program.
